The Pitt Recap: Dr. SWAT
Briefly

The Pitt Recap: Dr. SWAT
"Okay, well, it's less of a stroll and more of a brisk walk while at the side of his fellow SWAT team member who was gunned down in a botched robbery situation. In case that sentence didn't fully convey this idea: Not only is Dr. Abbot back, he is doing all of the most Abbot things imaginable. So, yes, when he isn't working a shift in the ER, he is a SWAT physician, who goes into the field to treat the team if injuries arise."
"There's just something about seeing bubbles come out of a wound in a man's throat that gets my juices going, you know? Well, that and the fact that yet again we get to watch Abbot and Robby solve an emergent airway problem. This is part of their special bond. Or kink. Or both! Either way, our guys come through and Hiro is taken upstairs to the OR."
The Pitt's second season leans into gross-out humor, Dana's accent, and recurring gags like "Baby Jane Doe." The seventh episode opens with Dr. Abbot arriving midday alongside a wounded SWAT teammate from a botched robbery. Abbot performs an under-fire intubation that fails, prompting an emergent airway workaround executed with Robby; Officer Hiro is stabilized and taken to the OR. Abbot's battlefield composure and multi-role lifestyle—ER physician and SWAT medic—heighten tensions, especially with Robby's simmering resentment toward Dr. Al-Hashimi. Al-Hashimi recounts maternity ward experience in Kabul; Abbot references the 2020 Dasht-e-Barchi hospital attack.
